Little Theatre of Epidaurus
Little Theatre of Epidaurus, Ancient Greek theatre near the port in Archaea Epidavros, Greece
The Little Theatre of Epidaurus stands on a hillside with 18 rows of stone seats forming a semicircle around a central performance area.
Built in the 4th century BC, the theatre remained hidden under olive trees until archaeologists discovered and began restoration work in the 1970s.
The theatre hosts annual summer performances during the Greek Festival, continuing a tradition of theatrical arts dating back to ancient times.
Located in the Nisi area near the port of Palea Epidaurus, the theatre currently accommodates 800 visitors during performances and events.
Several preserved stone seats contain inscriptions indicating the theatre's dedication to Dionysus and its construction in distinct segments.
